Bill Summary

Relative to funding the Behavioral Health Workforce Development Trust Fund. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing law by allowing the secretary to transfer up to 10 percent of available funds to the Behavioral Health Workforce Development Trust Fund, which is a dedicated fund established to support and promote professional development opportunities in the mental health field. This transfer is contingent upon the trust fund not receiving sufficient funding through the annual appropriations bill, meaning this mechanism acts as a supplementary funding source when needed to ensure the trust fund can effectively support the mental health workforce.
